Director Yeon Sang-ho's new film 'COLONY', officially selected for the Midnight Screening section of the 79th Cannes Film Festival, has released its official trailer.

Set in a building sealed off by an unidentified infection outbreak, 'COLONY' follows isolated survivors fighting against infected individuals evolving in unpredictable forms. The film released its official trailer on the 8th, drawing global attention from potential audiences worldwide.

The released official trailer begins with scenes of Kwon Se-jeong (played by Jeon Ji-hyun), Choi Hyun-seok (played by Ji Chang-wook), Gong Seon-hee (played by Shin Hyeon-bin), Choi Hyun-hee (played by Kim Shin-rok), and Han Gyu-seong (played by Ko Soo) struggling to survive dire situations at their respective locations, creating breathless tension. In contrast to these individuals engaged in fierce battles, Seo Young-cheol (played by Ku Kyo-hwan) appears relaxed, stating, "I am the only vaccine that can stop this outbreak," sparking curiosity about what secrets he may be hiding. Additionally, the infected, evolving in unpredictable directions and charging relentlessly, contrast with Choi Hyun-seok's line, "If we can just reach the building's rooftop, we'll all be safe," hinting that the survivors' journey will not be smooth.

As survivors sprint through areas of the building occupied by the infected, the urgency intensifies. The confrontation between Kwon Se-jeong, the leader of the survivors, and Seo Young-cheol, the mastermind behind the infection outbreak, hints at the fierce conflict and intense suspense that will unfold between them. Thus, 'COLONY' promises to captivate global audiences as one of the most powerful entertainment films of 2026, seamlessly delivering speed, scale, and suspense alongside the unpredictable story of six characters at the heart of the infection crisis.

Meanwhile, 'COLONY' is scheduled for release in South Korea on May 21.
